'It is a quiet morning indeed. Even birds are not singing' she thought, a calm feeling has washed her body. She didn't realize where she is, she felt lost in space until she heard a knock on her door that makes her return to the real world.

She found Mary walking beside her bed; she stopped at her side touching her head, feeling the fever.

"Miss Ishizu your fever now is down, thankfully" Ishizu smiled, while nodding at her approving.

"It's because of you Mary, you were by my side taking care of me. Thank you very much" she said sitting down in bed.

"Its nothing Ma'am really, this is my work" she said while covering Ishizu and making her sit in a comfortable way.

"How many days I stayed unconscious?"

"It's about a week Ma'am, your sickness was very strong even doctors were worried about you, you really had a hard time" Ishizu only smiled remembering about what happened before, It was really a hard time, it was a dangerous adventure.

"You rescued the little master Ma'am" Ishizu looked at Mary surprisingly, and smiled at her words.

"No, not really… anyone would do that" The maid smiled at her thinking how gentle this woman is, she really thought that this woman is different than the other ones but now she believes in that. She was about to leave when she heard her.

"How is Mokuba? Is he alright"

"Indeed Ma'am, because of you he didn't even catch a cold, his leg in now better, he can walk very well now, so you don't have to worry"

When she was about to leave she says:

"Ma'am you can't leave your room today, your condition is not stable, try to rest for the whole day" she says that and then she left.

'Sigh' ... 'it will be a boring day…' she thought. She grabbed a book read several pages but stopped when heard the door knock.

"Come in" she was surprised when she saw the small figure. Mokuba was standing beside the door like some student who was punished by his teacher.

"Why are you standing there? Come here… don't be shy" he entered; he walked straight to her with devilish eyes.

'What's with these eyes?'

"What's… wrong?!"She said a little scared

"Just answer me… why did you go that far for me?" He asked angrily.

"Why did I…?! What kind of questions is that?"

"Answer me? You did it for money right?"

"I did it for WHAT!"

"… Money" she stared at him disbelievingly she had enough of this.

"If I wasn't supposed to relax today…"

"So… what will you do?"

"I will kick you out of my room, get out NOW!"

"How dare you speak with me like that? I'm the second master of this house!"

"Second, first I don't care! GET OUT!"

"I won't get out until you answer me"

"Why you…"

"You seems okay now, you finally regained your health" both of them stopped arguing and looked at Kaiba who was standing by the door looking at them.

Ishizu looked away while Mokuba lowered his head looking at the ground.

He approached them looking at both of them.

"What are you doing here Mokuba"

"Nothing…"

"Then you can get out" Mokuba looked at his brother, he wanted to refuse but the look in his brother eyes wasn't Promising so he dismissed what he wanted. Looking at Ishizu, he really demanded his answer, but he can't get it now.

When Kaiba hears the door locks, he took a seat beside her bed and sat, looking at her observing, while she was looking away silently. He finally spoke.

"I apologize for what I accused you in that day, that wasn't your mistake at all I blamed you for things that was partially because of me, instead, I have to thank you for what you did for my little brother, you rescued him"

"No need for thanking… that was what I supposed to do in that time" she looked at his eyes, smiling a little to show him that she wasn't angry anymore since he already apologized.

"So, what do you want?"

"What do mean?"

"Don't play dumb, how much"

"Much?!!"

"I hate people who are not straight with me and trying to look they are good and no selfish, what do you want? Money? Maybe jewels? Anything you want so badly but couldn't buy it? You make for me a very valuable favor, protecting my brother is the most important thing in my life and you were clever when you did that, so come on, what do want? Speak your mind…"

"Speak my mind… will ok, you caught me I really want something very badly right now" she said smiling at him.

Mokuba didn't believe what he hear, he was so shock, he thought that she is a good person who could believe that there is such people who would risk their lives for money, he closed his ear to the door trying to listen, but he couldn't. Remembering everything happened between them in the forest he couldn't believe.

"And you'll give me anything I want no matter what"

"Of course, now don't waste my time, be straight"

Mokuba couldn't stand there anymore, he ran away trying to forget everything happened between them. His heart was really broken, maybe his brother was right, the only thing people care about is money, all of them prefer money more than anything else.

"I'll be straight, damn straight"
